Theater Five was ABC's attempt to revive radio drama during the early 1960s. The series name was derived from its time slot, 5:00 PM. Running Monday through Friday, it was an anthology of short stories, each about 20 minutes long. News programs and commercials filled out the full 30 minutes. There was a good bit of science fiction and some of the plots seem to have been taken from the daily newspaper. Fred Foy, of The Lone Ranger fame, was an ABC staff announcer in the early 60s, who, among other duties, did Theater Five. From the Old Time Radio Researcher's Group.

Night Late Radio Drama - Theater Five
I haven't had time to look for a new radio play to post so I decided to post the link to an archive of Theater Five, I've listened to a number of them in the past and generally they go from good to very good, some of them crossing over into excellent. They are vintage of their time. I hope you find something you enjoy.
